Overlooking the tidal Greville River, the center pays tribute to the
heritage of the communities along the Minas Channel. Through
pictures, videos, story telling, models, artifacts and hands-on
exhibits, the museum brings to life the history of shipbuilding,
lumbering and local community lives. The area boosts a rich history
from the time of the dinosaurs to the Mi'kmaq and Acadians to
loyalists and shipbuilders to the present day. The heritage center
hosts a museum in an 1854 church, local blacksmith shop from the
Wagstaff and Hatfield shipyard, as well as the Port Greville
Lighthouse circa 1908 and a boathouse. A vast collection of genealogical and research
material is available to the general public for their benefit.
Definitely a "must see" stop while in the region.

The Age of Sail Heritage Center is constantly evolving with new
exhibits, new archives, new artifacts and new structures being added
to the complex. A new 'boat-shaped' addition is now open with a
beautiful display area, genealogy and research area, as well as a
new wharf walkway. The Cafe and Gift Shop have been improved with an
old fashioned store front and much larger kitchen. Our 'Founders Tree'
is an ongoing aspect of the
center. Sponsors may purchase leaves as a contribution to the
ongoing efforts of the center. For more information on this
initiative, please
